I'm trying to create an app for the iPhone where I pull data from a database and then display it on a table (a completely new view from the main screen in which I ask the user to enter in data). I've used this framework to help switch views in my app: http://www.pushplay.net/2009/05/framework-for-having-multiple-views-in-an-iphone-app/
And basically, I modified it a little bit. I have it implemented fine, but when I populate the table I have to pass the array of information from a class where I pull the data from into the view where I display the table. I found the problem with my code (displayed below).
-(void) displayView:(int)intNewView{
NSLog(@"%i", intNewView);
[currentView.view removeFromSuperview];
[currentView release];
ServiceProvider *g = [[ServiceProvider alloc] init];
ServiceProvider *l = [[ServiceProvider alloc] init];
[g setSPNAME:@"george"];
[l setSPNAME:@"luuuuuusaaaa"];
passInTableToTOI = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithObjects:g, l, nil];
ResultsPage *rP = [[ResultsPage alloc] initWithNibName:@"TableOfItems" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
TableOfItems *tOI = [[TableOfItems alloc] init];
switch (intNewView) {
case 1:
currentView = [[SearchPage alloc] init];
break;
case 2:
[tOI setPassedThroughTable:passInTableToTOI];
[rP setResultsTable:tOI];
currentView = rP;
break;
case 3:
currentView = [[ShowAllPage alloc] init];
break;
/*default:
break;*/
}
//[rP release];
//[tOI release];
[self.view addSubview:currentView.view];
}
The table gets passed fine, but when I try to display the view I get this error "Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[ResultsPage tableView:numberOfRowsInSection:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x4e396c0". I feel like I'm not giving enough information, so please if you'd like more information don't hesitate. I'm not sure what else I'm being vague on so it'd help to let me know how I can be more specific. Thanks a lot everyone.

I found my problem. It was this clause:
ResultsPage *rP = [[ResultsPage alloc] initWithNibName:@"TableOfItems" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
TableOfItems *tOI = [[TableOfItems alloc] init];
It's supposed to be
ResultsPage *rP = [[ResultsPage alloc] init];
TableOfItems *tOI = [[TableOfItems alloc] initWithNibName:@"TableOfItems" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
I had a .xib file called "TableOfItems" and that should be corresponding to the class that populates the user interface, TableOfItems. This class hass all those delegates which creates the rows and sections and whatnot.
I'm sorry that I made such a foolish error...I don't think this would have been easily found by someone who didn't have access to the .xcodeproj
